National cannoli day

When you think of breakfast, there are probably a few dishes that come to mind. If you’re in a rush, you might grab a piece of toast, a quick national cannoli day of oatmeal, or some yogurt. On weekends, you might turn toward classics like pancakes, waffles, eggs, or bacon.

Here, we’ve rounded up 55 of our favorite breakfast recipes, with options to suit pretty much any occasion. Whether you’re in a time crunch, looking for your next weekend project, or cooking for a crowd, you’re bound to find a stand-out dish. These cinnamon rolls, laced with raspberry jam, offer a surprising twist on a weekend classic. The dough comes together quickly with the help of a stand mixer and uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and fridge. The raspberry jam, meanwhile, adds tangy, fruity complexity to the flavors of a traditional cinnamon roll.

Keep in mind that these will need to rise twice before baking: first for 30 minutes and then for 15. For the best of both worlds, try these muffins that combine the joys of both banana and zucchini bread. The fruit and vegetable mix — with the help of Greek yogurt — keeps these muffins ultra-moist and gives them a nutritious boost. Even better is the fact that these muffins come together in just 30 minutes, meaning they don’t only have to be reserved for special occasions. Rather, they can make for a perfect weekday treat.

Chilaquiles are the ideal breakfast for anyone who wants to start their day with something savory and spicy. Consisting primarily of crispy tortilla chips simmered in salsa and topped with fried eggs, chilaquiles are a traditional breakfast dish hailing from Mexico. This version uses store-bought tortilla chips and pre-made salsa to expedite the cooking process. Overnight oats have surged in popularity, and for good reason: Thanks to their minimal prep time and endless flavor possibilities, they’re ultra-versatile and easy to throw together on a whim. This version mimics the flavors of traditional apple pie, layering creamy oats with apple butter and brown sugar-stewed apples.

For context, this recipe is not for the traditional Jamaican rum cake — also known as “black cake” — that’s served at Christmastime. Rather, this dish incorporates the flavors of an American-style bundt cake with an abundance of Jamaican rum. Vanilla pudding mix helps keep the batter extra-moist, as does the rum-and-vanilla syrup that infuses the cake. The final result is a rich, decadent breakfast or brunch dish that is sure to please. This recipe comes via Gabe Kennedy, winner of ABC’s “The Taste” — and it comes together in just 20 minutes total.

Despite using a simple ingredient list of just butter, white onion, eggs, lox, and chives, this scramble manages to pack a flavorful punch. These eggs would go perfectly with a side of buttered toast, but they are just as delicious served on their own. If you want to take your pancakes up a notch — literally — then this might be the recipe for you. Whipping egg whites separately from the rest of the ingredients introduces more air into the batter, resulting in pancakes that are airy, fluffy, and tall.

These pancakes make for an impressive-looking dish, but they are actually fairly quick and easy to make. Top with raspberries and maple syrup for a luxurious morning treat. While undeniably delicious, quiches can be difficult and time-consuming to make. This recipe streamlines the process by relying on a store-bought pie crust. The filling is also a breeze to prepare, requiring just eggs, bacon, heavy cream, milk, and seasonings. Keeping the ingredients simple doesn’t just save time — it allows for the rich flavors of bacon and eggs to take the spotlight.
